The pick of the midweek La Liga clashes sees table-topping Barcelona welcome Athletico Madrid, which has been on a run of good form, to the newly refurbished Camp Nou. A brace from Dani Olmo helped Barca to a 3-1 victory over Alaves last Saturday, a result which moved Hansi Flick’s team to the top spot. With rivals Real Madrid having been held to an unexpected 1-1 stalemate against Girona on Sunday, the game on Tuesday offers Barca an opportunity to stretch its lead to a potential four points.
They face an Atlético Madrid team that could draw level on points with the Blaugrana should they win today. Diego Simeone’s side will likely feel confident of pulling off what would be a third away win of the campaign. The Rojiblancos are on a superb run of seven consecutive victories across all competitions, including six straight wins in La Liga.
